There is an unusual(特别的) student in a school in Kenya. He is Steve and he is 85 years old. Every morning Steve arrives at the school and sits down in the classroom. “I can’t read or write, and now this is my chance to learn. It’s very important to me,” says the old man.

Steve has to do the same things like his classmates. He has to sit at the same desk and wear the same uniform—a white shirt, blue shorts and black shoes.

“Steve is a very good student. He works very hard in class,” his teacher Eric says. “He is so smart. Now he can read newspapers.”

Joseph is 8 years old. He and Steve are classmates. Joseph says, “Now Steve is my friend. He tells me interesting stories about the old times.” Charles is in Steve’s class, too. He says, “Steve is very friendly. He’s like a grandfather to me.”

Green is an important color in our life. But “green” is more than just a color. It is the color of grass and leaves. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green”means young and growing. It is something that is not ripe (成熟). If a cow has no horn (角), it is green. If you come to a new job, you are a green hand, too. Green is also the word to say one’s feeling. You are always good at English, but your friend David is not. If David is not happy with you, maybe just because he can’t be as good as you (和你一样好). Then he is green, Green has another wonderful meaning. If you often take a bus to go out, not a car, we say you are going green. Because you love the world in a better way.

A teacher comes into the classroom and says to his students, “Today I want you to write about yesterday’s football match. I’m going to take your exercise books home with me. Now please begin.”

The students all take out their pens and exercise books and begin to write. A boy called Tom thinks hard. But he doesn’t write down a word. Five minutes later, he finishes(完成). He stands up and looks at the teacher. The teacher asks, “What is the matter, Tom?” “I have finished, sir.” says the boy.

“Well, give me your book.” The boy walks to the teacher and gives him the exercise book. The teacher opens it and reads, “Rain, no match.”
